    A Landowner's Guide to Fence Law in Texas

    EAG-029 1/17 A Landowner’s Guide to Fence Law in Texas Tiffany D. Lashmet James D. Bradbury Assistant Professor Partner, James D. Bradbury, PLLC and Extension Specialist Austin–Fort Worth Kyle K. Weldon Student, Texas A&M University School of Law ii Preface This book arose out of a late afternoon call from a rural county in Texas. Two landowners could not agree on a fencing question and called the county for help. The county judge called us, and after a few minutes of discussion regarding the question, we realized that Texas landowners need a field guide for fencing questions. The three of us work with Texas landowners, and we get more questions about fencing than any other topic. And, while there are thousands of miles of barbed wire across the state, we lack an easy-to-use resource to answer the everyday questions that arise between landowners. Another lengthy law book would not fit in the glove box of a pickup, so we kept this short and easy-to-follow. It may not answer every question, but it should cover most. And, remember, the law will never substitute for an understanding between two neighbors over a cup of coffee. iii iv Table of Contents iii Preface 1 Introduction 3 Liability for Livestock on the Roadway 3 Open Range vs. Closed Range 3 Local Stock Laws 7 U.S. and State Highways 9 Landowners and Emergency Responders 9 Road/Highway Liability Examples 11 Liability for Livestock on Neighboring Land 11 My neighbor’s cattle are on my land.

Yet the prevalence and commonness of fences has Connectivity contributed to their “invisibility” and a lack of attention in research and conservation, resulting in a scarcity of Ecosystem processes empirical data regarding their effects. Stakeholders, including scientists, conservationists, resource managers, Fence modification and private landholders, have limited understanding of how fences affect individual animals, populations, or Fencing ecosystem processes. Because fences are largely unmapped and undocumented, we do not know their full spatial Wildlife extent, nor do we fully comprehend the interactions of fences with wild species, whether positive or negative.

Need review from OCC • Legal Considerations – (b) (5) – BW11 FOIA CBP 006790 Approach to Complete Fence Construction Need additional info from USACE (b) (6), (b) (7)(C) • Procurement: Calling in the AM – Under the prior fence programs, DHS required CBP to acquire 70% of all steel for fence construction from the U.S. and prohibited CBP from purchasing any steel from Mexico. In order to minimize costs and ensure larger availability of materials, CBP will need to utilize NAFTA and purchase steel from not only the U.S. and Canada but also from Mexico. – In order to ensure steel availability on time, at a lower cost and to avoid contractors competing for materials, CBP will establish a Supply Chain Management contract to purchase and deliver steel to the sites. Contract will be similar to the Boeing contract utilized during the prior fence construction programs. – CBP has worked with its service providers to establish Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) and Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts to allow for an expedited contract award process for fence construction. • Other Considerations: – Additional staffing will be required in all program areas to meet the demands of fence construction while still maintaining current programs .
